Building relationships between elements

[Codesmith]

I have spent the last few hours trying to figure out what I thought was a feature.  

Here I am cap in hand.  :-/

I need to associate Process elements with other process diagrams and use case diagrams and so on.  So that I can document the flow of design model from high level processes and requirements right on through things like classes and tables.  So when I am done someone should be able to trace or navigate this through links or something from one element to another.
 
Would somebody please 'splain it to me?

Hi,

dependent on your particular needs, you could use the Realize relationship to document this. Or, if that fits better, you could create child diagrams (i.e. a child diagram under a Use Case) and then set the parent Element as a Composite one - that would allow the audience to locate the Use Case and by double-clicking in it to automatically open more detailed diagram underneath.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick reply.  

Starting my first project, I am trying to Document the Business Processes, but unless I make a HUGE Diagram I will not be able to fit all of it on there.  I had been using Select Component Factory which allows a heirarchy of Business Processes. .

Can I build a child Process Diagram?

How do I go about building a Child Diagram under a Use Case?

You can either go by setting elements as composite, which creates a new child diagam that opens when dbl-clicking the element. Or you can create explicitely diagrams inside elements via context menu. Just try what's the best solution for you.

Thank you I got the setting element as composite.  I have not been able to figure out how to create the diagram inside.
Any further explanation would be appreciated

Try right-click in the project view. Then Add/...Diagram.

You can also drag an existing diagram over the element in the project view and you'll have a sub-diagram.

Ok got it thanks
